First edition/first printing in Fine condition in alike dust-jacket; In Birthday Letters, Ted Hughes tells the story of a correspondence between two friends, one long-dead and one still living. Beginning with an envelope addressed to the living friend, the letters gradually become more personal, as the living friend recounts their memories of the long-dead friend.

The story is both heartwarming and poignant, and it is a beautiful tribute to the bonds of friendship.; 8vo; FSA .

Synopsis

Birthday Letters, published in 1998, is a collection of poetry by English poet and children's writer Ted Hughes. Released only months before Hughes's death, the collection won multiple prestigious literary awards. This collection of eighty-eight poems is widely considered to be Hughes's most explicit response to the suicide of his estranged wife Sylvia Plath in 1963, and to their widely discussed, politicized and "explosive" marriage.
